Kseniia Vasylenko had fled the war in Ukraine with her son and arrived in Cork a year before the fatal collision. She joined her mother, who was already in the city.
She said Vasylenko accepted she was driving and that she was intoxicated at the time. She said she had accepted responsibility for what had happened.Judge Boyle said Vasylenko's intoxication was a significant aggravating factor in the case. The sentence was backdated to last October, when Vasylenko first went into custody and she was also disqualified from driving for eight years.
He said the footage showed Mr Nesterov at the rear of his car and six seconds later the vehicle was put into reverse. However, in a subsequent interview she accepted she had been driving Mr Nesterov's car, but she said she did not realise that she had driven over him.
